OKEHAMPTON Cycle Club members took part in last Sunday?s 25-mile time trial hosted by Mid-Devon Cycle Club on the A38 course starting from Buckfastleigh to Chudleigh Bridge and back.
It was an early start at 7am to avoid traffic. A large field of 42 cyclists took part in the event.
With ideal weather conditions making for fast times club members met with success by taking two prizes and breaking personal bests.
Steve Sage finished third after clocking 56.16 with an average speed of over 26mph. Jacky Rice picked up the prize for being the fastest lady and in doing so broke her personal best time with 1.5.22. Mike Rice also achieved a new personal best time with 1.4.59.
The Okehampton Cycle club summer time trial series continued last Thursday evening, with an excellent turnout of eleven competitors taking part in a ride against the clock from Mole Avon to Whiddon Down and back on the old A30 road.
Andy Retter again achieved the best time of the night clocking 29.00. Mike Rice came second with 32.07 and Jacky Rice was third with 32.55.
Full results: A Retter 29.00; M Rice 32.07; Jacky Rice 32.55; B Ramsey 33.00; S Quigly 33.02; J Short 33.37; D Baskerville 34.42: M Williams 34.57; Sam Clifford 40.11
